Cake-making is part-cooking and part construction work. After you've gone through all that scaling, mixing, and baking and test-for-doneness stuff, you go to part two. The icing part. You whip stiff the eggwhites, pour the sugar syrup (if you're doing the boiled icing method) and beat it until it becomes satiny. Done with a hand-mixer, this process takes time.
Then you spread the icing on the cake - which reminds me of plastering a raw wall with cement. But, ugh... didn't I just say that cake-making is part construction work?
